It has been reported (by David) on our bug tracker already (20796, security area, which does no longer make sense at it is public now...) For information this notice contains the password in clear for... 10 years now (bug 2149) and the behavior is turned off by default (AutoEmailOpacUser).

Considering that email is plaintext (AKA "postcard") mail, I'm surprised we would send a user's password in an email in any case.

Considering that the borrower’s password is typically in the ACCTDETAILS email, I think using the message_queue for ACCTDETAILS would be a bad idea and would probably violate the GDPR in Europe.
Just imagine looking through your database and seeing all those plain text passwords, especially for people who re-use the same password for everything. I think it would be a security and privacy nightmare.

Maybe because for this message you're expecting it is sent immediately while message_queue table could be processed more occasionally ?

Hi all,
I was wondering why we do not push the ACCTDETAILS email via the message queue.
Is it just one of those cases of "as things have always been done" OR there is a reason that I'm missing out?
cheers
